The Nightingale Of Mayanmar Poem by venkata lakshmi narasimharao

THE NIGHTINGALE OF MAYANMAR

You are the Nightingale of Mayanmar
A cruel magic fakir has caged you for fifteen years
Your pathetic plights brings incessant tears
Into my sore eyes

Who can choke your sonorous song
Which devil can hold you for long
“heard melodies may be sweet
But unheard melodies are sweeter

Your soothing song has echoed into our ears
We have heard it for many silent periods
You have allayed our fears
We will kiss your beautiful feathers

You are an angelic bird
And have won the heart of the world
You can fly very high
And soar into the free sky

You are freed from the iron fenced cage
Nobody can stop the people’s volcanic rage
You are the eternal democratic spirit
You will surely be crowned for your unfailing merit
